Tree Removal in Forrestfield
Forrestfield lies fifteen kilometres south-east of the city at the very foot of the Darling Scarp, with the bushland of Mundy Regional Park climbing the scarp behind it toward Lesmurdie Falls and the green expanse of Hartfield Park - golf course, equestrian centre, nature reserve and lake - at its centre. It's a suburb where backyards back onto jarrah and marri country and the bush is never far away, which makes tree work here as much about bushfire safety as tidiness. San's Tree Service covers Forrestfield for removal, pruning and the clean-up.
Foothills and bushfire conditions
Forrestfield's position against the scarp shapes everything. The jarrah, marri and flooded gums that grow here are tough natives, but big trees and heavy fuel loads close to the house are a real fire-season concern. The work that matters most:
- Deadwooding and hazard reduction - clearing dead and overhanging limbs near the house.
- Crown reduction - lowering large, top-heavy trees.
- Removal - where a tree is dead, dangerous or too close for comfort.
The City of Kalamunda rules
Forrestfield is in the City of Kalamunda, which takes its canopy and its fire risk seriously:
- The City runs a Tree Retention policy (LPP 33), so a significant tree on your block may be protected - worth checking before a removal.
- Street trees won't be cleared for a development unless it's unavoidable, and then only with an offset payment to replace them.
Trees on your own land may still be covered by the retention policy, so check the position first. We can help you understand what applies.

Do I need approval to remove a tree in Forrestfield?

Can you do bushfire fuel-reduction and hazard pruning?
Yes - at the foot of the scarp, fuel loads and overhanging limbs near the house matter. We deadwood, reduce and remove trees to lower the risk, in line with the bushfire requirements for the area.
Do you grind the stump too?
Yes - we grind stumps in-house after a removal, leaving the spot ready to replant or build on.
